i vlw Candidates and Their Vriencs Are Hard at Work. Tuesday's Result' Will Settle Mayoralty Contest. Heavy Registration. Much interest centers in the pilgrimage to Wilmington of the Dramatic Order Knights of Khorassan, Tuesday night, when a team 25 strong from Suez Temple, No. 73, located at Charlotte, will be here to initiate a class of betwen 60 and 75, numbering some of the most prominent citizens of Wilmington and other points 'in this section.

The Dramatic Order Knights of Khorassan, it is claimed, is the only secret fraternal order having a ritual written in dramatic language, upon dramatic lmes, with dramatic characters, is pronounced by some of the best critics in the fraternal world the most remarkable production in secret society ritualism.

ternoon and iast evening, and between now and the time the polls close Tuesday afternoon the question of who will be who when the votes are counted will probably be to the fore. The lack of any extended general interest on the part of the public, however, is not to be taken as any indication that the candidates and their friends have not been busy, for they have exceedingly so. There has been much quiet, button-hole work going on all through the past week. Some have been disappointed, perhaps, over the lack of the element of heat in the present campaign, and at the earlier stages of the matter, when Former Mayor Springer was looked on as a Mayoralty candidate, there were predictions of a gloriously warm contest. His withdrawal from the race, say those to whom a political fight is as the breath of life itself, killed every prospect for the spectacular in this campaign.

r.rly more days remain before thP Chautauqua opens in the big tent mil and Market streets.

There will be many others who will irint tickets and if purchased before fsturtlay afternoon 'a -season.

As the individual charges for admission amount to $7.50, it can be readily seen that it ill be worth while to purchase a season ticket. The people of Wilmington found last year that all the attractions were of the highest class and the same will be true this year. In fact; the Kedpath Bureau declares that the Chautauqua this season is even better than it was last season. One of the new features will be the presentation of a modern play, "The Servant in the House," something that has never before been attempted on the Chautauqua circuit. The Chautauqua will open Saturday nfternoon at 3 o'clock with a grand concert by the Music Makers.

The keynote of the Chautauqua this year iviil be community building and in his lecture Saturday night, Sylvester A. times elevating and refreshing. The: order is particularly designed to create better, broader and closer fellowship among Pythian Knights, furnishing them a middle ground upon which the members of the different lodges may mingle and become better acquainted, providing entertainment that is clean, bright and instructive. It admonishes all. Votaries to think nobly of their friends, to fill their lives with sweetness, and to speak approving, cheering words while yet their ears can hear and their hearts can thrill with them, to brighten and perfume their homes by the flowers they would lay on their graves, and to let those flowers be love and affection; and it reminds them that post mortem kindness cheers no burdened spirit and roses on the coffin cast no fragrance on the lonely way.

A factor in the success of the Wilmington Savings and Trust Company has been the equitable treatment of accounts. The small jand large depositor is served with sincerity. It isn't so much he size of the account; it's the consistency ofit. Take the iirst step. Open your account here, where every rudiment of careful banking is exercised to make this institution a standard depository.

Suez Temple has a membership of about one thousand of the leading professional and business men of North Carolina and quite a number from other States. However, while the few may feel disappointed over a tame municipal campaign, the majority of voters, doubtless, look on it as a most welcome change from some of the campaigns of the past, with their undesirable effects on business and the public peace of mind. oemmoie is as follows: "Santo Domingo, April 15. The Clyde agency here reports that the cteamer beminole, Capt. Packer, running this trip for the New York and Porto Rico Steamship Company, a company amalgamated with the American Coast and Gulf Steamship Line, is a total wreck hear Saona Island.

The Seminole, an iron steamer of tons gross and 1,967 tons net, turned out by the Cramps, of Philadelphia, 1S86, left New York for the New York and Porto Rico Steamship Company's service on April 4, bound with freight only for Puerto Plata, Sanchez, La Romana, Macoria, Santo Domingo City and Haytian ports, including Port-au-Prince. She carried mails. "She arrived all right at Puerto Plata, April 9, sailed next day for Sanchez, and from there for La Romana, on the south side of Santo Domingo, in attempting to round the southeast extremity of the republic, after negotiating Mona Passage, was caught thick weather in the deceptive current and sucked in upon the sands of Saona Island. "Capt Packer believed at first he could get her off and called for aid. The steamer is equipped with wireless.

The norwegian steamer Sjotad was at Macoria on the south side of the republic, and responded to the call for help. "The Seminole had been drawn into the breakers further and further, while the Norwegian was approaching, and her back was broken upon the bar of the treacherous lump of an island. The Sjotad could do no more than save Capt. Packer and the forty-odd men in his crew. "The Seminole had run to Charleston and Jacksonville, and latterly ran regularly between New York and Wilmington, N.

and Georgetown, S. but made this one trip for Santo Domingo and Hayti. "She had had many adventures. She had been in trouble, not through her own fault, with the authorities of Hayti and San Donmigo and had been several times accused by the United States NORTHERN VETERAN PASSES. Col.

Col. John Wainwright, of Wilmington; who as a colonel in the Northern forces took part in the storming of Fort Fisher and was awarded a medal of honor by Congress for his gallantry in that memorable fight, died at his home Thursday. The following from Friday's New York Herald will be of interest, here: "Colonel John Wainwright, father of Lieutenant Commander John Drayton Wainwright, of the battleship Vermont, died at his home in Wilmington, yesterday of general debility. He had a brilliant civil war record. Colonel Wainwright was seventy-five years old.

Enlisting as a private in the Second Pennsylvania infantry in April, 1861, he was successfully promoted for heroism until June 1, 1865, when he was made colonel. He was awarded a medal of honor by Congress for gallantry at the storming of Fort Fisher, N. C. Interment will be made at Arlington Cemetery, Washington." ANOTHER CARGO FO COTTON. The registration for the primary over 3,000 is heavy and the indications are that the vote will also be heavy running over 2,500, the predictions have it.

Outside of the Mayoralty race between Mayor P. Q. Moore and Councilman W. Wood, few are making predictions as to the result of the different contests. Most of those who keep in touch with the situation are conceding that Mayor Moore will be re-nominated by a good majority, though Councilman Wood's friends dis-agreevwith them in this prediction anfl declare that their man has a splendid chance.

The Mayoralty contest is the only one that will be definitely decided at the primary, in so far as fixing who will hold the office for the next term, for two candidates for Council are to be nominated from each ward, to be passed upon by the city as a whole in the May election. The primary, however, will probably give a pretty accurate prophecy as to who will be the next Councilman from the Fourth Ward, as there are only two candidates making the race tn the Fourth Councilman D. N. Chadwick, and James M. Hall, and the vote in the primary, it is believed, will be pretty much the same as in the election.

In each of the other wards, however, there are three or more candidates for Council, and the elimination of all but the two highest men will not necessarily indicate which of the two receiving the highest vote, will in the general election get the majority of the votes cast for the defeated candidate or candidates in the primary; government of trying to smuggle arms and cartridges for Hayti and San Do mingo and for Spain.
